So what? I have tons of friends just like that. One even said she was "jealous that I can wear shorts". What?! I think it's perfectly fine. As long as you feel comfortable and they don't reveal too much, go for it! I think there are tons of body types that look great in ahorts.

You should try some bold outfits with your shorts so it doesn't draw attention 2 your legs. but if you arent a bold dresser just wear your shorts and be proud! sum ppl don't even hav legs!

Sweetie, don't let societal standards of "beauty" stop you from wearing whatever you want to wear! The thigh gap is a ridiculous standard to try to live up to, and you absolutely don't need to have long legs to wear shorts! Shorts come in so many cuts and colors, you can definitely find some that accent your beautiful body and make you feel confident!

Of course you can wear shorts! If you like the look and you like the fit then go for it! :)

Yes but if you don't feel right wear tights or leggings with shorts it will look cute.

Totally! I wear shorts and I don't have the thigh gap either, you just need to find the right shirt and shorts and finally WORK IT!

Girl who cares you have to rock those cute skirts and shorts. I always have big legs no matter how much weight I lose its just a genetic thing but I wear what I want hah. Don't let it stop you.

Don't care what others think! ps high waisted shorts and nude or skin color flats and heels give the illusion of long legs! rock this summer!

If you're not comfortably with your legs & want to wear shorts try longer shorts. Not like to the knee long but maybe a little longer to still keep cool but feel comfortable at the same time!

I have the same problem haha. Get high waisted shorts that aren't super tight (like silk or cotton ones that flare out at the bottom) they do wonders for short legs especially with heels! :)

Please don't let beauty standards stop you from wearing what you want. I'm a size 0/2, 122lbs, and I'm 5'0. I'm short and muscular and the LAST thing I have is a thigh gap as I've got strong (not exactly tones) legs. But that doesn't stop me from wearing skirts and dresses! Love your body, its the only one you've got so be proud of it. Wear what you want and express yourself how you want.

Wear whatever makes you feel happy :) if you feel your legs are a little bit thicker maybe wear slightly longer / not tight shorts , I don't think the whole super tight hot pants with Half your bum hanging out is a good look anyway it's just tacky :/

I get really insecure about it because of cellulite and veins but there is nothing unattractive about not being model thin.. Embrace your body type :)

Whatever makes you feel comfortable!
I personally haven't worn shorts since I was 9 or 10 years old but I felt fine in short dresses and skirts for some reason even though I hated my legs in shorts...it all just what you feel comfortable in or confident wearing!
